If I was you, I would tell my husband to stop being so self-centered. If he had a work commitment or other legit conflict, that would be a valid excuse. If your school has way too many of these things, then it’s understandable he won’t make it to ALL of them. However, so much of parenting is doing dumb and boring stuff because it brings your child joy and pride. I don’t go to Paw Patrol Live or volunteer for 4 hours at a swim meet when my kid swims for 30 seconds because I actually enjoy those things. I do it because I love my kids.

I ran track in middle school and HS. 6 years total. I ran the mile and 2 mile, sometimes the 4x800 relay. Those are the first, middle, and 2nd to last events. My parents spent countless hours, pre-smart phones, watching me run for a few minutes. Neither of my parents are runners. They are avid golfers and gardeners. I am sure they had better and more interesting things to do with their spring evenings, but one of them was always there and they never made me feel like it was a burden or that they were giving up their preferred activities to do something mind numbingly boring for my benefit.
